My prblem is I have deleted the Secure Zone from IT and it finished it successfully. But then I did not see the free space recovered back to my drives, even after many reboots and use of scandisk. What should I do now? It seems I lost part of my partition? Anyone having same problem, please help me. Does uninstalling IT help?

after making the desired change try a power-off reboot of the machine and see if the sz has been deleted and reasigned. it seems some machines will recognize the change using soft reboots, others require power-off reboots.

As you can see in the screenshots I sent, the E: drive originally have 11.35 GB, then I created Secure zone of 2.1 GB, it was down to 9.26 as indicated by Explorer. Now, when I deleted it and gave back the space to E:, TI did not, as you can see there is no change in Explorer, but in TI itself, it indicates that E now has 11.35 GB but with 11.09GB used. that means the 2 GB of the secure zone is still somewhere but Explorer can not recognize it. Even now, if I try your way to recreate the Secure zone using E: (as TI did not allow me to do it without shoosing nay partition), TI only allow me the lasgest possible space of 1.4GB, which was 2.1GB before. I have another question: could it solve the problem if I recreate the Secure zone from E: as descibe above (1.4GB) and then delete it as you suggested in the other thread??

About your Service, I really dont understand the delay, as everyday you post me some answer on the forum asking me to send you some requested report or screenshot, but then you said you did not receive them? How come?

I want to added something which even complicated my situation. As I could not wait for your answer to my question if receating SZ from the same original partition is ok, I read on the forum and found someone did it that way and it helped. So, I did it myself. I created SZ (1.4GB) again from E:, which is now 9.8GB (accoriding to TI). After the reboot and notice from TI that SZ was successfully created, I deleted using Manage Acronis Secure Zone Wizard. I did assign TI to give back space to E:, see Screen00011. Then TI proceeded OK (Screen0002), notice the figure at the bottom, which says that my 9.8GB E: drive will become 11.35GB (as originally). I clicked Proceeed, and TI said SZ was deleted OK. I then checked my drive in Explorer, but nothing changed. I checked it with TI by trying to creat SZ again, then TI says my E: is 11.35GB with 9.03GB used Screen00031), which is correct as it originally was. I even reboot, no help. Explorer still could not recognized the reallocated space. In Windows Disk Manager then I have a different picture (see Screen00005). Actually, my drive E: before in the last post was only 9.2GB with some 200MB free, but now it becomes 9.8GB with 800MB free, that's strange?? Then I check in TI again, by tried to creat SZ again. Then I have another srange info about my drive (see Screen000032). Now, TI says my E: is 11.35GB but with 10.48GB used, which is exactly 1.4GB more than before, and this is the space of the SZ I created. Thus, I suspect that TI did not reallocated my space back to E:. But I could not figure out how to resolve this problem. I am really disappointed with TI after nearly one week of frustrated conresponding hopelessly for help and solution for something which should be normally problematic free such as that of the SZ in TI. I could never imagine that I could get into such trouble with a very highly recommended image backup software like TI 8.

Acronis Service, please help me get out of this trouble and I would highly appreciate your kindness.
Thank you.
